Astley Baker Davies is a British animation studio based in London, England, originally owned by founder-directors Neville Astley, Mark Baker, and Phil Davies. It is the production company behind television series The Big Knights, Peppa Pig, and Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom. In 2015, it became a subsidiary of Entertainment One, which took a 70% stake. In 2023, Hasbro kept eOne's stake in the company, making it the majority subsidiary of Hasbro's newly created division Hasbro Entertainment, due to eOne's non-children assets being sold to Lionsgate later in the year.{{cite news|last1=Jaafar|first1=Ali|title=Entertainment One Acquires 70% Stake In 'Peppa Pig' Producer Astley Baker Davies|url=https://deadline.com/2015/09/entertainment-one-peppa-pig-astley-baker-davies-stake-1201560180/|access-date=2017-01-12|work=Deadline Hollywood|date=2015-09-30|archive-date=1 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151001055534/http://deadline.com/2015/09/entertainment-one-peppa-pig-astley-baker-davies-stake-1201560180/|url-status=live}}
